You know the drill. Who do you want to see in the WS?

Would be nice to see different teams like the Giants and Rangers.

Not really.

Well maybe see the Giants anyway.

Either Philly option leads to great subplots - the Yanks and the Phils in a rematch of last year or the Phils playing Cliff Lee and having Hallday face Lee everytime they start. As long as it's Philly it's all good!

Phils - Yanks. Without question.

The Phillies are the next Atlanta Braves of the 90's and 00's.

We'll know in a month.

Shoot, the Phillies have already lost 3 WS in my lifetime.

Phillies 2 WS - 3 losses
Flyers 2 SC - 6 losses
76ers 1 NBA - 5 losses
Eagles 0 SB - 2 losses

That's 5 trophies and 16 championship losses. Maybe other fans now understand why it's been so hard being a Philly fan.

Just be glad you missed 1964.

While I'd like to see San Fran vs New York, it'll probably be a rematch of last year.

FOX would have a nutty of neither Philly or NY were in it. so ya SF vs Tex would be great

Hell, I was 25 before the Phillies ever won a WS (ok, 24 & 10, months but close enough). I started watching/following them the year of their "great collapse." I can handle the WS losses (so I lie). Just seeing them get there this much is a major achievement to me.

On the sports talk shows today, they were discussing that if the Yankees win the ALCS, and Philly wins the NLCS, that the Yankees would be considered the underdogs.

Maybe so, but I'll never consider a team with $60M higher payroll to be an underdog. They are the evil empire after all.
